if india want to win todays semifinal match they have to make some changes always cant rely on kholi my team 1)rohit,2)dhawan or rahane, 3) kholi, 4)manish pandey, 5) raina, 6)dhoni,7) pandya,8) jadeja,9) ashwin,10)nehraji, 11)bumrah only one change manish pandey in crucial middel order position if only rahane can play in opening slot he cant play in the middel order dhavan is a fine batsman & today pitch will suit him
There must be some solid reason for calling Pandey in place of Yuvraj SIngh. But why keep Rahane away for the all important match. Over the years, Rahane has proved he is the best player - may it be fielding or batting. If Dhoni is keen to take Pandey, then he should drop either Dhawan or Rohit and take Rahane instead as the openers have not made full use ofpowerplay. There is no point in sticking to the same side when the pressure is passed on to middle overs batsmen.

Dhoni is not keen to take both Pandey & Rahane ....He is insisting on Pawan Negi, his CSK teammate. Just like he stickered useless Raina in the team.....

rahane plays t20 like test . strike rate of less than 100. he is good for ODIs but not for t20
It's just beyond my senses that a hugely talented player like Manish Pandey who has proven himself time & again in domestic matches, IPL as well as in one or two international matches that he was given chance ( that too due to somebody's injury ) couldn't make it to the playing 11.
Reports are out that Dhoni doesn't want to play neither Pandey nor Rahane. He is insisting on Pawan Negi who was his CSK teammate.
Ravi Shastri & Kohli are clearly not so keen & happy to play Pawan Negi in playing 11.
They want either Pandey or Rahane in playing 11 which I think is a sensible & intelligent choice.
Dhoni is again playing politics & biased for players of his liking than what is beneficial for the team. Just like he is doing in the case of Suresh Raina.
His selection itself is grossly wrong. Added to thathe is injured. Why not select many youngsters whoare waiting for a chance. The ST blocked many upcoming youngsters. Let us not con tinue the legacy.
